Mother of 11 Wants 100 More Children Because She Wants to Have the "World’s Largest Family"

A mom of 11 is already planning for a family that would make most people stop and stare. Christina Ozturk, 23, says she wants 100 more children so she and her wealthy husband, Galip, can build the world’s largest family through surrogacy.

The couple lives in Batumi, Georgia, where surrogate births are legal, and that has made their unusual plan possible. Christina was visiting the coastal city as a single mother when she met Galip, and the relationship quickly turned into something much bigger than a vacation romance.

Now the pair are raising a growing brood and still talking about adding far more children to the mix. Read on. Newsflash

Galip shared his memories of their first encounter:

She is so easy to be with; she always has a smile on her lips and yet at the same time is shy and mysterious.

She was the kind of wife I always wanted for myself, an uncut diamond where I saw what a pure and kind heart she had.

The relationship progressed, and Christina soon moved to Batumi with her young daughter, Vika. Although Galip was much older and had adult children of his own when they met, he told Christina that he wouldn’t mind having a really large family.

They both wanted to have as many kids as possible. However, they soon realized Christina would not be able to give birth to enough children to keep up with their ambitious plans.

They decided to use surrogate mothers, which added up to a cost of about $11,000 for everything involved. Being wealthy came in handy, so they are now parents to 10 children in addition to Vika.

It also echoes an AITA where a wife hides her inheritance from her husband’s greedy family pressuring for money.

That is where the plan really started to snowball.

Christina said:

“At the moment, I have ten children, with the latest addition, Olivia, who arrived at the end of last month. I gave birth to my eldest daughter, Vika, myself, six years ago.

The rest of the children are genetically ours from my husband and me but were carried by surrogates.”

They have previously spoken on social media about wanting 105 children, but they have confessed this was just a random number.

Christina explains:

“I don’t know how many there will eventually be, but we certainly don’t plan to stop at 10. […] We are just not ready to talk about the final number. Everything has its time.”

Before expanding their family even more, they will let the existing kids grow up a bit first. Christina has also confessed it has proven more challenging than expected to care for so many babies all at once.

Christina’s initial plans were to have a baby each year, but when the option of surrogate mothers arose, she chose that route instead.

Christina said:

“The clinic in Batumi chooses surrogate mothers for us and takes full responsibility for the process. We are not personally acquainted with the surrogate mothers and do not have direct contact with them in order to avoid problems after pregnancy.

“All communication takes place through the clinic; we only monitor health indicators. I create a dietary menu for the mothers to ensure...[truncated]

Their next move is still up in the air.
